Four Leaf Clovers Lyrics

Cindy and her mama always had a hard life

Her daddy lost his job and he walked out when she's five

Now she's just looking for a place to spend the night

Hard to get to school living in a van

Working on the street seemed like a better plan

Then to starve another week just doing what they had to

She's just looking for this time to be over

Cindy's looking for a four leaf clover

Maybe things will get better when we're older

Yeah, for another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day

Do what you gotta do

For another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day, yeah

Johnny got a couple jobs, cleaning making beds

Stocking shelves, changing tires, trying to make some bread

Struggles another week just trying to make the rent

One night he tried his luck at the casino

Lost it all and couldn't find a way out he could see, though

He never meant to shoot that liquor clerk just trying to feed himself

He's just looking for this time to be over

Johnny's looking for that four leaf clover

Sometimes an idea seems good until it's over

Yeah, for another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day

Do what you gotta do

For another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day, yeah

If Cindy's just born on the north side of the tracks

Johnny just get that monkey off his back

Hard to judge when you don't know the facts

What they're going through

Cindy's just trying to make it through another night

Close her eyes, pretend everything's alright

Johnny wished he'd never pulled that trigger

Sometimes life don't work how we figured

Me, I got no reason to complain

Got a roof over my head and no warrants on my name

Still hurts watching suffering, all the same

I really hope Cindy can make it through the night

And I hope that Johnny finds a way to make things right

If there' four leaf clovers, I hope they find em

They're just looking for this time to be over

Cindy's looking for a four leaf clover

Johnny's looking for that four leaf clover

Maybe things will get better when we're older

Sometimes an idea seems good until its over

Yeah, for another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day

Do what you gotta do

For another day

Just trying to make it through

For another day, yeah
